Citytv pays tribute to Znaimer

Citytv in Toronto will air a one-hour tribute to its co-founder Moses Znaimer Jan. 5 at 8 p.m. Znaimer's vision of local and interactive television, in real-time with real people, along with his 'studioless' TV concept became a format that has been picked up by numerous countries.
With multi-ethnic on-air talent that reflected the city it served, and an informal streetwise attitude, the station soon became well-known. It was the beginning of an empire that includes stations as diverse as MuchMusic, CablePulse24 and SexTV-The Channel, all started under Znaimer's watchful eye. Done very much in Znaimer's signature style, the tribute will take the form of a staff dinner with the man and include footage from the early days of Citytv.
